“There’s not a chance in hell this guy would make it through the night.” Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for a junk action thriller called Clear Cut, formerly known as Cold Deck. The title is a wildfire term for cutting down trees so they don’t burn and spread the fire even further. A team of loggers discover a meth cook site in the middle of the forest and are forced to fight for their lives while hunted by a drug cartel. Set in the woods in the Pacific Northwest, a man crosses paths with a criminal band of madmen from his past intent on killing him before he can fight his way back to civilization. With Clive Standen, Lucy Martin, Jesse Metcalfe, Tom Welling, Lochlyn Munro, Chelsey Reist, Tom Stevens, Mike Dopud, plus Stephen Dorff and Alec Baldwin. This looks absolutely awful – bad performances, bad CGI (all the fire looks so bad), and a derivative plot that will make anyone roll their eyes. Stay away from this kind of crap.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Brian Skiba’s Clear Cut, direct from YouTube:
Every moment is filled with danger for a man cutting timber in the Pacific Northwest, but Jack becomes the target of a brutal assault from more than the elements in this action-packed thriller. As Jack ventures deeper into the woods, he crosses paths with a criminal band of madmen from his past intent on killing him before he can fight his way back to civilization. Academy Award Nominee Alec Baldwin, Stephen Dorff and Tom Welling star in an electrifying drama about one man’s treacherous journey on the road to redemption. Clear Cut, formerly known as Cold Deck, is directed by the American filmmaker Brian Skiba, director of many, many junk action movies including Crushed Velvet, Dirty Little Trick, .357, Slaughter Creek, Merry Ex Mas, Beverly Hills Christmas, Rottentail, Chokehold, My Adventures with Santa, The 2nd, Flowers and Honey, Pursuit, Killer Rivalry, Secret Society of Lies, Dead Man’s Hand, and Out of Hand previously. The screenplay is written by Joe Perruccio. Produced by Corey Large. Lionsgate will debut Clear Cut in select US theaters + on VOD starting July 19th, 2024 this summer. I hope no one wants to see this?
